The patch titled Subject: x86/mmap: properly account for stack randomization in mmap_base has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is x86-mmap-properly-account-for-stack-randomization-in-mmap_base.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/x86-mmap-properly-account-for-stack-randomization-in-mmap_base.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/x86-mmap-properly-account-for-stack-randomization-in-mmap_base.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: x86/mmap: properly account for stack randomization in mmap_base When RLIMIT_STACK is, for example, 256MB, the current code results in a gap between the top of the task and mmap_base of 256MB, failing to take into account the amount by which the stack address was randomized. In other words, the stack gets less than RLIMIT_STACK space. Ensure that the gap between the stack and mmap_base always takes stack randomization and the stack guard gap into account.
